The X Prize was ten million dollars awarded to the first person to design their own personal "space ship" and launch it into space with a piolet. The piolet had to survive though.

Description:
Who were some of the top contenders? Geoff Sheerin, his design is a boilerplate crew cabin that will fly in space. The avionics system provides the resulting control signals necessary for maintaining stability of the vehicle in all three axes. The guidance system generates course corrections. It is aerodynamically stable throughout the entire flight, and even with loss of active guidance the vehicle would continue on a ballistic trajectory. The first stage has a safety device that can be detonated to ensure down range safety.
John B. Herrington’s design is a horizontal and vertical space launch with suborbital spaceplanes that are optimized for near-term space tourist and microgravity research applications, and two-stage fully reusable vertical launch vehicles that are optimized for International Space Station crew and cargo delivery and affordable, responsive commercial launch services

Description: Brian Feeney’s rocket was supposed to work using liquid rocket propulsion engines and systems.
Geoff Sheerin’s rocket uses rockets to pull the crew compartment clear of its booster during a launch pad emergency. It is also designed to be launched from a barge.
Description: The way the winning project design worked was based on having the rocket be light, and fast at times. Being very light helped to reduce the forces acting against the rocket. The rockets actual vehicle speed can exceed mach 3, flying faster than an M16 rifle bullet. But its speed measured by sensors compared to pressure is very low.

Other designers that competed for the X Prize were Armadillo Aerospace and Starchaser Industries. Armadillo’s X Prize spaceship used hydrogen peroxide and methanol as its gas. It had computer controlled “jet vanes” based on feedback from gyroscopes, which control the direction and it was used to keep the spaceship straight. Starchasr Industries X Prize spaceship is fitted with three computers, and two parachutes. Its cluster of nine solid rocket motors generates over 4 tons of thrust accelerating the vehicle from 0 - 700 miles per hour in under three seconds.

The way the winning design worked was the SpaceShipOne design has a unique “shuttlecock reentry” system and it has wings with the wing planform in the form of a triangle. They fold upward at the center of its tail. This increases drag while not losing its stability. After passing though its peak sltitude, the space ship will glide back down to earth.

Description:
The da Vinci Project's Wild Fire rocket lead by Brian Feeney was to be lifted from a launch site near Kindersley, Saskatchewan, by a reusable helium balloon to an altitude of 80,000 feet near space from where the rocket engines would fire and propel pilot Brian Feeney on the 62-mi.-high suborbital space ride.
On the Olympic Peninsula at Forks, Washington, Philip Storm and Eric Meier had been developing their Space Transport Corp. rocket, Rubicon, for the X Prize competition. Their rocket was to be launched on a suborbital flight from the Washington coast out over the Pacific Ocean and then parachute down into the ocean to be retrieved by boat or helicopter. Unfortunately, the 23-ft.-long Rubicon rocket flew up only 1,000 feet and exploded during its first launch August 8, 2004. The rain of debris on the beach and ocean ended the attempt to win the $10 million X Prize. Storm said the small group of low-budget volunteers was unable to compete with SpaceShipOne's billionaire financing.

Description: The way the winning desin worked was It takes about an hour for the Rutan aircraft White Knight to ferry SpaceShipOne from the Mojave runway to an altitude of 50,000 feet – about 9.5 miles. East of Mojave, White Knight releases SpaceShipOne into a glide. Then SpaceShipOne's pilot fires the craft's rocket motor for 80 seconds, climbing vertically and boosting the craft's speed to Mach 3 – about 2284 miles per hour. During that pull-up and climb, the pilot encounters G-forces three to four times Earth's gravity. The rocket engine is fueled by rubber and nitrous oxide, which is better known as laughing gas. The gas in a six-ft.-diameter tank at the center of SpaceShipOne.

One of the top contenders was Brian Freely whose aircraft was The Wildfire Mark v1.
Like SpaceShipOne, Wild Fire will launch from high above the Earth after hitching a ride with a mother ship. But where SpaceShipOne is carried under the belly of a parent airplane, Wild Fire is towed with the world’s largest reusable helium balloon.
Wild Fire’s current flight plan calls for its wide balloon to fly up to an altitude of 80,000 feet with the spacecraft dangling by a cable about 750 feet below the balloon’s crew quarters. From balloon top to rocket bottom, the entire assembly measures about 1,000 feet. Once the balloon-rocket duo reaches the proper altitude, Wild Fire will turn on its engine and launch spaceward at a target height of 71.5 miles

Another contender was Pablo De Leon whose rocket is named Guachito who is launched vertically with liquid oxidizer over solid fuel engines.

The way the winning design worked was SpaceShipOne will be air launched from a twin turbojet research aircraft with an 82-foot wingspan.The SpaceShipOne made a three-point landing, on two wheels, and nose-mounted skid. The requisite speed is 7 miles per second, or 25 thousand miles an hour.

What is the X Prize?
Description: The X Prize is an International Competition in which competitors seek to reach space
with their custom rockets. The flightsight is at Mojave, California.
The rockets must reach space being controlled by a pilot. The rockets must
come back to earth and must be reusable in TWO WEEKS.
The rockets much reach 100 kilometres

How was the winning rocket designed?
Description: Spaceshipone was powered by a HTBD-Nitrous-Oxide hybrid rocket design
Matthew Gionta: SpaceShipOne is slung underneath the belly of the White Knight aircraft,
two aircraft that we've developed from scratch here.
The White Knight is a turbofan-powered airplane that carries the SpaceShipOne
up to 45 to 50,000 feet so that we can start our space flight from a relatively high position in the atmosphere where the air's already pretty thin. We're through about 85 percent of the Earth's atmosphere already when we go down 45,000 feet. The air is very rarified up at that altitude so it's a great place to start from. From there we drop the spaceship off of the White Knight and it glides for 10 seconds while the pilot sets up, gets the aircraft all trimmed up, ready for the rocket boost and he throws the switch, and the hybrid rocket motor in the SpaceShipOne accelerates the pilot at about two to three times normal gravity. It accelerates at about twice normal gravity forward and the pilot immediately commences a pullout maneuver to approximately vertical -- he's going pretty much straight up.
And the ship continues to accelerate going straight out for a little over a minute.
We don't give out the exact numbers -- then someone can reverse engineer.
SpaceShipOne is carried on the WhiteKnight until reaching a certain elevation
where it is then released and rocketed into space.

The Panaero Team was supposed to work, by converting an F-14 into a first-stage reusable launch vehicle. PanAero's design called for a very large wing that they used as a sort of parachute to begin deceleration at an unusually high altitude. It would take them 10 minutes to get to 100km. The rocket could carry a pilot and two passengers.

The way the winning design worked was by using a hybrid motor. The motor has combined elements from solid and liquid rocket motors. By adding a burst of heat to the fuel you get an explosive blast that can propel it into space. Space Ship One is propelled by a mixture of hydroxyl – terminated polybutadiene (tire rubber) and nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
